An Asiana Airlines Boeing 777 plane is seen after it crashed while landing at San Francisco International Airport in California, in this file aerial view taken July 6, 2013.

A child who was critically injured in Saturday’s crash of Asiana Airlines Flight 214 died Friday morning from her injuries, San Francisco General Hospital announced

The girl, whose identity was withheld by hospital officials, had been in intensive care ever since she was taken to the hospital after the crash.

“I am very sad that one of the victims of the plane crash expired this morning,” said Dr. Margaret Knudson. “Her parents have asked that we reveal no further information at this time. We will respect their wishes while they grieve.”

Also Friday, San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr confirmed weeklong fears that a fire truck ran over one of the two 16-year-old girls who died after Asiana Airlines

Flight 214 crash-landed at San Francisco International Airport, though whether that killed her remains to be seen.

Police said the victim, identified by the San Mateo County Coroner’s Office as Ye Mengyuan of China, was covered in fire-retardant foam when a fire truck rolled over her at a low speed.

She was discovered in the tracks that the truck left in the foam as emergency workers responded the crash that also injured dozens of others after the jetliner “short-landed” and hit its tail on the sea wall, shearing it from the rest of the plane and sending it spinning into the runway.

Police stressed that the coroner has not officially determined the cause of death for the teenager who was hit by the fire truck and declined to comment further. Coroner Robert Foucrault said earlier this week that it could be two to three weeks before that information is released.

The San Francisco Fire Department, which oversees firefighting and rescue operations for the airport, said it would hold off on a response to the police finding until it’s clear how the victim died.

“Out of respect for the family and everyone involved, the Fire Department is awaiting the results of the coroner’s report so we can provide a complete and factual statement,” Lt. Mindy Talmadge, SFFD spokeswoman, said in an email.

Suspicions arose soon after the crash that one of the girls might have been struck by a rescue vehicle, especially after aerial photographs of the wreckage showed a body in the trail of one of the trucks.

During a news conference Monday, Dale Carnes, assistant deputy fire chief at SFO, said the department was quickly made aware of the possibility and that officials were cooperating with a multi-agency investigation that included the NTSB and SFPD, which dispatched its hit-and-run investigation unit to the case.

Meanwhile, the National Transportation Safety Board turned over custody of Runway 28L Wednesday night so that airport crews could start clearing debris and begin repairs to the surface and seawall where the plane’s tail sheared off, and crews were quick to begin work.

Friday morning, the front section of the plane was taken to a remote lot north of the airport. At the lot, crews could be seen using a combination of cranes, flatbed trucks and forklifts to gather the aircraft pieces. Engines and fragments of landing gear and the tail rested in a pile.

“We got it entirely relocated from the site,” Yakel said. “It’s a huge milestone for us.”

Crews will now turn to the task of cleaning spilled jet fuel and repairing the surface of the runway as well as safety lights that were damaged.

“Our goal is to reopen the runway for commercial use by the end of Sunday,” Yakel said.

Before that can happen, the Federal Aviation Administration must certify the runway before clearing it for landings. Yakel said the airport has been in close contact with the agency to facilitate an expeditious return to normal operations.

“They know how important it is for us to get that open as soon as possible,” Yakel said.

He added that travelers have faced delays at a minimum of 45 minutes — though many have reported some far longer — and that between 75 and 100 flight cancellations a day have been made since the crash.

“Having one of four runways closed its like having a lane closed on a freeway, it’s going to back up traffic,” Yakel said.

Should the first plane touch down late Sunday on Runway 28L as hoped, Yakel said it will be a testament to nonstop work since the tragedy.

Officials said that federal authorities will transport, piece by piece, the wreckage to a secure housing area that is yet to be determined. Parts of investigatory “interest” have either already been shipped or are on their way to the agency’s headquarters in Washington.

Fewer than a dozen of the victims injured in the crash still remain in the hospital, including three flight attendants who, like the deceased girls, were ejected from the plane on impact.
